You forgot no CD player either!

Having recently taken a trip to Wales and seen more Yaris's than I ever want to see in my life again, I can say with some authority that most Yaris drivers are unlikely to even know how to access the internet.

Unfortunately experience says that at least one of them has access to t'interweb :rotfl:

Oh, that one person must be me then!

I got my Yaris last year, although it did come with a handbook, so the online handbook only must be new.

I even mange without a CD player. I've paired my Iphone with the car and and play music by Bluetooth. It's very easy.

Honestly, when you hit 50, you don't suddenly turn into a technological duffer - most 'older' people can cope with computers, they are not exactly new. I've had a PC for more than 25 years.

Oh, and believe it or not I have actually exceeded a speed of 30mph in my Yaris too;)

My new Yaris has a spare tyre. A real one. And a jack.

No CD player though.

You had better carry a sledge hammer if you try and change the tyre.Its a doddle to jack it up and undo the wheel nuts but the wheel itself may well stick on the hub. My tyre fitter gave it a hell of a bang with a sledge hammer to get it off. Not recommended on the side of the road on a wobbly jack. C1/Aygo/107 have the same size wheel hubs and will probably be just as difficult to get it off the hub.

Your alloy had corroded onto the hub, nothing to do with wheel size.

Ok, but steel wheels will also jam solid. Personally I`ve only had this happen with Toyota Yaris (steel wheels ) and its C1/Aygo/107 sister cars we use as fleet cars. It would really stop someone out on the open road just trying to do a quick tyre change without messing around calling out the RAC etc like a big wusse and if you re on a motorway it could cost you a tow in off the mway to services if cops spot the car on hard shoulder .Apparantly copper greasing up the hub will stop this.
